Carrying in comfort and style

Advantages: closeness, hands free
Disadvantages: hugs chin when facing outwards

...month's use out of. The Tomy Freestyle carrier had a large, padded velcro strap around the waist and back as well as an adjustable clip, very thick shoulder straps, and velcro around the baby's legs as well as a plastic clip so that he's safe in there but can be taken out easily. My decision was made, and I paid my £24.99 to the cashier happily. With a little practice I was able to slip the carrier over my head whilst holding the baby, get him into ...
...time again I'd buy a Tomy Freestyle carrier straight away, it's certainly worth the money. So in short, Pros: - One person only needed - Neutral colour - Easy to get baby in and out - Sturdy and safe thick material two fastenings - Adjustable leg holes and shoulder straps grow with the baby, waist band can shrink with your baby bump! - Can go hands free when needed - Saves on space - Closeness - No carrying buggies up and down the stairs ...

I'm a Hippy mummy

Advantages: takes the weight off your back, can go buggyless
Disadvantages: expensive

My son was quite a big baby, and grew out of his baby carrier at around 7 months. He seemed happy in his buggy, looking around at the world, for a few months, but then began wanting to be out with me again. I also wanted the freedom to carry him, being able to leave the buggy behind sometimes when it would otherwise get in the way. I also enjoy trying out the quirkier baby accessories (bumbo, doidy cups etc), and bringing them to other mums' attention. ...
...had to try it! The seat is not a baby carrier in the usual sense of strapping the baby onto you, it's simply a belt that you wear around your waist, with a hard platform over the hip that baby can sit on. It doesn't sound great, but believe me it takes the weight off your arm and back, which for me is wonderful. The seat comes in one size, which supposedly fits from UK size 8 to 20. However, my small size 8 sister tried it on and it was slightly ...

Premaxx Baby Sling

Advantages: Free hands for mum!
Disadvantages: Strap can dig in to your shoulder

...liked the sound of the Premaxx baby sling. Probably mainly because I'm a sucker for European design & the Premaxx sling does look really funky! I chose the 'Sporty' version - I think perhaps it's now discontinued - the only place I could find it was on Amazon through a private seller. It's a really bright turquoise, with 3 zip pockets dotted along the strap, which I thought would be really useful for storage (small items such as keys, phone). When ...
...with just an 8lb baby in it, the strap dug in my shoulder. I found it best to wear something thick underneath, such as a dressing gown or jumper. Perhaps my husband would have found it easier, but he's never actually tried it. My son did seem quite happy & content in the sling - he was soon fast asleep, which is a blessing in those early weeks! When baby gets to the sitting stage, the sling can be turned around with baby sat up in it, balanced on ...

Awkward to use, not click and go!

Advantages: 2 way facing
Disadvantages: Uncomfy, fiddly, expensive

We thought that one of these would come in very handy when our little one arrived, however this carrier was a nightmare to use, we have the click and go version. Firstly it is so difficult to adjust, after only 5mins of wear the adult part digs into the back of your neck, the waist part rides up too high. The baby part looks comfy and for putting the baby into it to face you is straight forward, but trying to put a wriggly baby if facing out is impossible, ...
...itself is very secure once clicked together but taking the baby out again is virtually impossible as you have to slide your hand between the baby and your harness, from between their legs and then find the fiddly clip, by which time there is a stressed out baby and mother!!! It is also difficult to clip the baby harness to the adult harness with the baby in it. Nice idea but doesn't work. It is also quite pricey and friends have much better carriers ...
